Preps For Moving On

Heiskell, Tennessee

Weather: low 56 degrees, high 76 degrees, partly cloudy skies

We watched the British Open this morning as Tom Watson had the British Open championship in his grasp, but allowed it to slip away by missing a putt on the last hole. In the four hole playoff that followed with Stuart Cink, he was unable to rekindle the magic that had kept him in or near the lead the last four days. He did well, and showed those younger players that the old folks still have game. Good try, Tom.

We plan to move up the road tomorrow, but haven't decided where we'll land. Our route will be up I-75 into Kentucky, and we'll probably stop at the welcome center to make a decision on where to go. There are some Corps of Engineers parks on Lake Cumberland, so we'll probably end up in one of these. The lake is 65,000 acres in size, so it should be big enough for us to find a space.

Since we plan to move tomorrow, we did some of our pre-travel chores today. I dumped the holding tanks, straightened the basement, washed our laundry, and filled up the truck with fuel. Carolyn did the things she does, such as putting everything in it's place for travel, and cleaning out the refrigerator. We don't expect to be in a hurry, and won't leave here before 0900 or 1000 hours.

Most of the time, we are in the central time zone. Over the years, we have gotten used to all the daily routines of our lives being based on that time. Eating, sleeping, watching television, etc. Since we have been here near Knoxville, we decided to stay on central time, so our clocks have not been changed. One thing we like a lot about central time is that prime time television starts at 1900 hours, instead of 2000 hours. The prime time viewing is finished by 2200 hours, and if there is something we want to watch, we know that the latest it will be on is 2200 hours, rather than 2300 hours like it is in eastern time. Sometimes, it's hard to stay awake until 2300 hours.

If everything goes well, the next post should be from Kentucky, a new state for us with the RV.

More later, be safe.
